This coming Thursday, January 15, is the deadline for sending all your wonderful, handmade cards to our Snail Mail Valentines fundraiser. In case there’s any confusion, the cards don’t have to reach FF by Thursday; they just have to be postmarked by then.

So you still have plenty of time. In fact, since I’m snowbound this weekend, I cranked out a bunch using left over stuff from other artsy projects. You can tell by the two Valentines here that I can’t draw. But, hey, not being able to draw a straight line shouldn’t stop anyone. Your Valentines will be featured for sale online and in our store, and the proceeds are going to Elder Craftsmen, a NYC based organization that brings craft programs to seniors.

In case you need to review the guidelines, click here. Then start scrounging around your house for supplies. I know there are markers and maybe bags and all kinds of papers just waiting for you to use them in a Valentine-y way.
